Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-09-03

On motion of Col. H. H. Boyce it
was decided to allow those interested
in the different pieces of property to
talk about their offers and the advan-
tages of the different sites.
G. w. Morgan then stepped forward
and said that it was his opinion that
at no distant date Los Angeles and
Pasadena would be one city and with
that in view he thought that his offer
was a good one and that it was worth
to the hotel company at least $500, 900.
On the request of w. d. Stephen
son, the proposition of the Tenth and
Main street property owners and the
St. Vincent Hotel Company were re-
read, and after some discussion as to
the subscriptions said to have been OBJ
tanned by the Tenth street projectors,
Mr.. Stephenson presented to the
chairman book containing subscrip-
tions amounting to 1892 800. Mr.. Ste
phenson then said it was the intention
to build the hotel on one lot, 300x330,
and to have on the opposite side OF the
street the boilers and servants rooms,
etc., entirely separated from the main
building. In the proposition it was
intended to put into the hotel $4S2 500,
besides the land, whereas only $780,
900 would be put in the st. Vincent's
Hotel property.
Major Jones, on behalf of the
St. Vincent's Hotel property,
said that he would guarantee
that the stock would not be
assessed, and there would be
no doubt but the $400, 900
could be raised at once. He said it
lays where five lines of railroad are
contiguous. The value of the property
was estimated at 5000, 900.
Henry Hazard also spoke in favor
of the st. Vincent property.
Mr.. S. NJ. White spoke in favor of
the Tenth and Main-street proposition.
Judge Redick favored the PROPOSE
ton of the St. Vincent's Hotel Com
pany.
Col. II. H. Boyce said that should
either proposition be accepted, the
original subscribers would be satisfied.
Mr.. l. r. Dunkelburger asked for fur
ther time in which to make up his
mind which way to vote.
The original subscription list was
called, and it was found that about
$40, 900 was represented.
On motion of Col. H. H. Boyce, it
was decided that the roll be called and
that the majority vote decide the loca-
ton of the hotel.
The roll was then called and re-
suited as follows:
In favor of the st. Vincent loca-
ton, 3SS1s.
In favor of the Tenth-street loca-
ton, 200.
Moved and carried that the vote be
made unanimous.
Moved and carried that the original
subscription list be placed in the
hands of the chairman.
Upon the announcement ofthe vote,
Judge Gottschalk said that the hotel
on the corner of Tenth and Main
streets would be built before the other,
and Hon. Stephen NJ White invited
those assembled to take dinner with
him at the hotel. 1t was stated by
those interested in the hotel at that
place that the hotel will be built.
There is at present $685., 800 sub
scribed, which, with the value OF the
land donated, $3.50, 900, makes total
of $532 800, and it is proposed to OBJ

then adjourned, every one feeling
confident that two hotels will result
from the efforts to build.
